TODAY I WONDERED

 

Sometimes on my morning wanderings I like wonder to let my mind roam free…because I never know when I wonder while I wander what thoughts will come to me.

 

Today I wondered what life is like up on the moon…up on Jupiter and Mars

I wondered if it’s easier to dream when one is gazing at the stars.

 

I wondered how many people have ever seen a unicorn, a dragon or a leprechaun.

I wondered how many people have ever mistaken the sunset for the dawn.

 

I wondered when it comes to love…what happens to ignite it.

I wondered if two countries declared war what would happen if no one came to fight it.

 

I wondered what it is within the heart that causes it to swoon

I wondered how long it’d take if you climbed upon a moonbeam before you reached the moon.

 

I wondered what it is about a baby’s laugh that so innocently endears.

I wondered if you cry in the rain…or in the ocean…does anybody see your tears.

 

I wondered why some people find it so easy to conform.

I wondered if a rainbow is the sky’s apology for a storm?

 

I wondered if a meadow filled with flowers is where a rainbow goes to die.

I wondered what it would be like to be a bird…or a butterfly.

 

I wondered if what makes us rich is how much we save or how much we give away…

I wondered if it’s really true…that love will always find a way.

 

I wondered if there is any part of prejudice and bigotry I will ever understand.

I wondered why a walk in the moonlight always feels better holding hands…

 

And as I reined my mind back in when my morning walk was through…

I wondered if I shall always be someone lucky enough to wonder while I wander….

I certainly hope that’s true.
